Six days. Three national parks. Endless adventure - get ready to see the very best of Kenya. You’ll chase the Big 5 on game drives, then crank up the thrill with rock climbing, white-water rafting, and zip-lining. Then connect with local culture in a Maasai village. Unforgettable is an understatement. Best part? You can camp under the stars without lifting a finger (thanks to your very own Camp Manager), or kick back in a chalet-style stay instead.

FAQs
- Maasai Mara National Reserve: Hot air balloon rides may be available in the Maasai Marai through independent local operators. While floating over the savannah sounds pretty iconic, this isn’t an activity Contiki promotes, sells or books, as local provider insurance does not meet our required standards. If you'd like to take a hot air balloon ride, you're free to arrange and pay directly with a local operator while on tour. This is completely independent of Contiki and follows the operator’s own terms, safety standards and insurance cover.
- Amboseli: Premium camping is classic camping, levelled up. Our road crew will set up these tents for you - all with premium facilities like chill-out zones, communal bathrooms and all the creature comforts.
- Amboseli: Nope, you're all good! All equipment (tents, sleeping bags, etc) will be provided for you.
- Amboseli: You don't have to. Your road crew will set up camp, cook meals, and clean up afterwards - but you're always welcome to help!
- Amboseli: You'll have access to proper bathrooms with real toilets, hot showers and everything you need - just shared with the crew.
Included Experience
- Nairobi: Meet the dedicated team and see for yourself the work being done to help the women and children who live here in the Kibera slum.
- Maasai Mara National Reserve: Known for its grassy plains and rolling hills, home to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos, the Maasai Mara is a jewel in Africa’s wildlife crown, so don’t miss your chance to explore it from sunrise to the afternoon, with a picnic lunch in the wild.
- Amboseli: Get that iconic wildlife shot with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.
- Amboseli: Get up early in search of the famous elephants in this iconic Kenyan National Park.
